Cover story – In this souvenir issue we celebrate the England men’s team’s extraordinary World Cup win, and consider what comes next in the game’s ongoing quest to inspire and energise the next generation.
Chris Woakes, England’s star opening bowler, gives us the inside track, taking us right back to the start of the show and rolling through to that mind-bending finale.
Columnist Jonathan Liew asks if English cricket can truly capitalise on this moment - he has his doubts - while editor-in-chief Phil Walker assesses the impact at grassroots level.
Elsewhere it’s Ashes time. Jon Hotten pens a beautiful, elegiac piece about the contest’s enduring mystique; and Sam Perry, of the Grade Cricketer, looks at Australia’s obsession with pace.
And Rob Smyth speaks to some of the hapless English batsmen charged with deciphering the Warne code from the blond’s breakthrough Ashes in 1993.
Plus all this: our secret cricketer on lunatic coaches; James Taylor’s poignant brilliance; Robin Smith’s life in cricket, our packed club cricket section, and the best young female cricketers in the world.
